During an interview with  in which she promoted her new series 鈥淢atlock,鈥 Bates talked to Ben Mankiewicz about her Oscar moment and her mother, Bertye鈥檚, response.

鈥淭hank you,鈥 she said to Mankiewicz. 鈥淲hy did I think I didn鈥檛 thank her?鈥

The elder Bates died in 1997 and her daughter said her mother 鈥渟hould have had my life.鈥
